Over 9,000 firefighters are battling California's 17 wind-fueled wildfires that have spread across the wine country north of San Francisco this week. On Friday, as reinforcements continued to arrive from surrounding states, authorities reported some headway has finally been made. "The emergency is not over, and we continue to work at it, but we are seeing some great progress," said California's emergency operations director, Mark Ghilarducci. At least 35 people have died in the fires, and hundreds more are still missing. About 90,000 people have evacuated their homes, and at least 5,700 homes and businesses have been destroyed.

Following President Trump's decision last week to end Affordable Care Act subsidy payments to insurance companies that lowered premiums for low-income customers, senators are moving to introduce new health-care packages aimed at stabilizing the potential turbulence from the executive order. Sens. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) and Patty Murray (D-Wash.) have been working on a highly anticipated bipartisan health-care plan for months, and are expected to introduce it "within days." Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) is also expected to introduce a more conservative alternative that might have a better shot in the Republican-held House. Overall, Republicans generally support a response to Trump's executive order: "I think Congress should pass that short-term extension," said Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.). "We absolutely have to think about that family around the kitchen table."

The White House released its analysis of the GOP tax reform plan Monday, touting corporate cuts that administration officials estimate would eventually increase the average household income by $4,000 per year. President Trump has signaled a willingness to be flexible on the terms of the final legislation, though he's been firm on cutting corporate taxes down to 20 percent from 35 percent. Democrats have pushed back on the report, with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) claiming the Council of Economic Advisers used "fake math" to reach its conclusions. The nonpartisan Tax Policy Center said, per Reuters, that "overall benefits of lower corporate taxes tilt heavily toward those with higher incomes."

More than 300 people were killed and 300 others wounded in a truck bombing in Mogadishu, Somalia, on Saturday, Dr. Abdulkadir Adam of the Aamin Ambulance service said Monday. This is believed to be the single deadliest attack ever in the country. While no terrorist group has claimed responsibility so far, Mogadishu civilians are a regular target of al Shabaab, an al Qaeda-linked extremist group that seeks to overthrow the Somali government. The attack took place on a busy street two days after the head of U.S. Africa Command visited the Somali president in Mogadishu. Officials believe the death toll could continue to rise.

California authorities said Sunday that they had "turned a corner" fighting deadly wildfires that have killed 40 people and devastated the state's wine country, as the winds that have fueled the blazes died down and firefighters gained the upper hand. "A week ago this started as a nightmare, and the day we dreamed of has arrived," Napa County Supervisor Belia Ramos said. The number of people under evacuation orders shrank from 100,000 to 75,000 as some people were allowed to return home. "Conditions have drastically changed from just 24 hours ago, and that is definitely a very good sign," said Daniel Berlant, spokesman for California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. "It's probably a sign we've turned a corner on these fires."
